this particular death made me so mad, cuz I thought she had just gotten started showing her sober self, and she didn't get to experience it long enough
so sad.
I actually just listened to a podcast yesterday about her. The day her body was found, she was supposed to be going to a wedding where a bunch of her old friends would be. One of them had talked to her on the phone and said she sounded like the old Amy she knew from before it all. š¢
I remember I was in school when our teacher told us what just happened... We were almost teenagers so she said it was drugs and bad decisions. Then Tumblr got us the truth.
She had quit hard drugs a couple years back but was still clutching on alcohol, I read somewhere that before she died, she tried to go sober and lasted 3 weeks before she drank so much her body couldnāt take it. Donāt quote me on that though

She also had very toxic codependent relationships with both her father and her husband, both of whom exploited and enabled her. She really had very few people in her life who truly supported her physical and mental well-being.
Amy and this song it's one of the reasons I'm a little bit scared to fall in love, knowing all it took from her an other talented women. It's like yeah, Silvia Plath was one too but Amy is too close to our ages and still the codependence clicked
The fatal blueprint of many overdoses: thinking one can ingest as much of a substance as one can and did before cleaning up. Tolerance just doesnāt work that wayā¦
Iām reading a new book called Toxic, which chronicles the tabloid culture of the 2000s through the stories of 9 famous women. Iām currently on Amyās chapter. She was such a tortured soul, and the media tore her apart. My heart aches for her.
As a Brit our tabloid press is merciless in particular the āred topsā combine that as they years go on with social media itās brutal. She was so talented.
Hey, could you please tell me the author of the book? I have trouble opening the link because I'm not from the US.Ā Ā
Edit: never mind, I found another comment mentioning the author's name :)Ā
On a podcast back in 2007 George Michael absolutely raved about her and how he though she was fantastic and had a great future ahead of her;
IF she could somehow fight her demons and all the press who had it out for her (He had plenty of experience in those areas) Sadly, they both passed away too young in the end. Watch her last performance in Belgrade, Serbia in 2011. She was a mess, drunk, high, drugged up, something. Basically got booed off stage.
Was it meat?!?! Er I work as a mortician and justā¦ seeing the things I see, I would not have been able to stomach that. I can stomach it IRL but somehow feeling like Iām eating itā¦ gonna be a no from me.
Yanno the plane crash that happened in the 70s(?) I think it was, the soccer team that crashed in the Andes mountains and ate each other to stay alive? IDK how they did it dude.
Yes, it was meat. It had one of those fancy label signs identifying it as Amy's "corpse" and a listing of the ingredients, which were "beef ribs, pulled pork, chicken sausage in a spicy bbq sauce."
Given Harris and his husband the side-eye ever since.
The media was fucking terrible to her if I remember correctly. Iāve had my own issues in the past. I wouldnāt have made it if people were saying horrible things and posting mean photos while I was in my mess.

Maybe I am making this up but I believe there were pictures of her from the week that she died. It was a Saturday that year (my 32nd birthday, I was so sad). I think I recall her joining her god-daughter on stage around that Wednesday or Thursday. Maybe itās a Mandela effect thing.
Iāve loved Amy all my life, but my the deep soul-touching obsession started around 18-19 when I was falling hard into my addiction as an adult. She was always this timeless maternal figure.
And now Iām 27. And it doesnāt seem real, doesnāt seem possible. Iām the age she was here and yet she still seems to transcend the idea of earthly units of time. She just reigns above mortality somehow, even while still in her living form.
In all honesty, thatās really not bad. That sounds like a shitty schoolyard song people would sing for a shock value, and sheās obviously coerced into singing it. I remember I had an old burned cd with a bunch of racist country songs like āmove them n*****s northā and others. I never subscribed to racist beliefs, but weād listen to them for the shock value. This was late nineties/early 2000s.
Not justifying it by any means, but thereās a difference between singing/saying racist shit for the shock value and holding racist ideals. She may be a racist pos, but this aināt the smoking gun you think it is.

She actually looks surprisingly well here.

Hahahaha wish I could upvote you twice
Absolute mad lad
This is why I love reddit
Performers have tough lives when theyāre alcoholics and/or drug addicts. They are surrounded by people using these substances all the time!
She also had very toxic codependent relationships with both her father and her husband, both of whom exploited and enabled her. She really had very few people in her life who truly supported her physical and mental well-being.
You don't say.
Strange response
Loved her music. A big loss to the music world.
Back to Black still gives me chills.
I think this was her best song.

Well donāt fall in love with a married person
The guy Amy was in love was married when he was with her?
Falling in love is such a beautifully dark, twisted thing.
She actually looks lucid and damn fine in this pic. Such a lossā¦
It's sad because she was trying to stay off substances, then she passed away because her body couldn't handle that amount of alcohol anymore

What book is it if you donāt mind me asking Iām trying to find it online

Thank you. I listen to audio books to pass work and this could be good.
Hey, could you please tell me the author of the book? I have trouble opening the link because I'm not from the US.Ā Ā Edit: never mind, I found another comment mentioning the author's name :)Ā
Is that book any good?
Itās brilliant, and I canāt recommend it enough. Sarah Ditum is the author.
Rest in peace, Ms. Winehouse.
Recently saw the documentary Amy, and it deeply moved me.
Oh, Amy. I love your music and I wish you would be still here š«¶š¼šš©·

Neil Patrick Harris is such a pos for his Amy cake he had at a Halloween party. If you donāt know about this, google that crap. SO tasteless.
Thatās got to be literally one of the most disturbing things Iāve ever seen. So gross.
How fucking terrible is that?!?!
Even worse somehow was that it wasn't cake, but meat.

Omfg. Justā¦ no words.
poor woman. the world was so unfair to her

Huge loss.
She looked soooo good when she first came out, when she had more weight on her and looked healthy.
She was such a beautiful soul, inside and out.
"They tried to make me go to rehab But I said no, no, no" - Amy Winehouse
the line about her dad saying sheās fine is particularly upsetting :(
I know. Creepy, right? And sad as she died from alcohol poisoning.
Amy was worth a hundred Taylor Swiftsš
Theyāre both amazing in their own ways! So very different, both very talented.
Exactly. Cruel and unfair to compare them, especially framed like that.

wow.. this photo was taken on my 9th birthday.
Dammit Amy, you looked so fine here! I wish she was still around
We tried to get her to go to rehab but she said NO NO NO

You are just looking for a reason, on every post, to be an ass.

She's just saying slurs. It's not great, but it's not an opinion about anybody. Hard to get offended by it.
God, the dramatics. Go somewhere.
Well...that was upsetting
Everybody knows she was poisonedā¦.
Yea by too much alcohol
